Try enabling the RPMForge "extras" repository - it's disabled by default
because all or most of the packages there conflict or overwrite packages
from the base distro.
$ rpm -qa |grep -i spf
perl-Mail-SPF-2.8.0-1.el5.rfx

On CentOS, or any other RedHat-ish rpm-based platform using yum, you can
also do:
# yum install 'perl(Mail::SPF)'
and it will install the necessary package to provide that Perl module,
assuming there's one available. There's similar support for Python
modules too, and possibly Ruby in eg recent Fedora releases.
I like that Debian(-derived) systems have so many Perl modules
packaged... but when you're looking for something odd, and you don't
know which actual package it may be in, the dependency system in rpm has
dpkg beat hands-down because it's not limited to just package names.
-kgd
